    Find corresponding combination with the maximum value.

    Hello, I am a structural engineering major and need help with a potentially simple solution but it has stumped me for hours. In my file, you will see my calculation sheet and the 2 maximum combination cells I need help with. I set up a MAX command to find the greatest value of the combinations but below the value, I need it to also say the combination number is also. For example, the max loads in the file are 56.4 and below that would automatically say "combination 3" and the second max value is 42.5 and below that would be combination 3 (random chance they are the same). So hopefully, with your help, you can figure out a function that will say the corresponding combination with the maximum value.

    Please refer to a formula

    f11
    =INDEX(D4:D8,MATCH(F10,F4:F8,0))

    f23
    =INDEX(D14:D20,MATCH(F22,F14:F20,0))
